The Resource Lee, Harper

Description: Harper Lee's first novel was a delicately balanced work that painted Southern white prejudice, perception, and childhood through the eyes of six-year-old Jean "Scout" Finch, a detailed study in contrasts herself. When her father undertakes the defense of a wrongly accused black man in the face of white solidarity, her innocent voice tells much about prejudice and hypocrisy without using the terms. Lee's second novel to be published (though actually written first) follows Scout as an adult returned to her hometown. Start with: To Kill a Mockingbird
